Note:

AC & Matt believe every worker deserves a union. We express solidarity with striking WGA workers everywhere, but especially on the production of season 2 of Andor. Andor is a story about workers being subjected to oppressive and uncaring systems. It is the powerful writing behind this story that moved us to make this episode. The production team should heed the values of its own show and shut down filming of season 2 while WGA members are on strike.

The Disney content machine should stop standing in the way of its writers - and all workers - getting what they are owed.
